todo.md

important basics left to explain

• status (basics are explained, but not in depth...)
• commit --amend
• nomenclature of HEAD/repository/^/~/...
• (clone - hard to do sensibly)
• (restore --ours - explained but only in passing, not interactively)
• range-diff

less important basics

• add -p
• tag (interactively)
• config
  • alias (explains "nuggit redeem")
• submodule
• rm / mv
• worktree
• remote
• bisect
• merge-base
• ranges (HEAD...FETCH_HEAD)
• log -S
• grep

"fancy" ideas for clues

• range-diff (merge-base)
• bisect
• blame
• grep

List of places to hide

• reverted commit
• different branch
  • git log --all --decorate
• tag
  • git describe
  • all tags
• different remote
• stash
• .git/config (e.g. author)
  • alias
• hooks (e.g. automatically add nuggit to commit message)
  • post-merge
  • post-rewrite e.g. for commit --amend
• --word-diff --word-diff-regex=. (nuggit hidden "inbetween" two commits)
• submodule
• blame first column
• untracked files (git clean --dry-run or git status --ignored)
• files in .gitignore
• files in .git/info/exclude
• merge commit (git merge --no-commit)
• file encrypted with filter
• rerere for specific conflict
• apply a number of patches (and maybe calculate the nuggit, so that it isn't obvious from the patches themselves?)
• custom subcommand (requires setting up the $PATH)
• git reflog => detached commit
• random object in .git/objects (git prune --dry-run or hint of hash?)
  • tree / file / blob
  • git cat-file -p

Tools

• noninteractive interactive rebase (for reflog)
  • replace content of todo file with custom content:
    • streameditor.sh:

      #!/usr/bin/env bash
      cat > "$1" << EOF
      r commit
      pick commit2
      EOF

    • GIT_EDITOR="sed -i -e 's/old text in commit msg/fancy new text/g'" GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR="./streameditor.sh" git rebase -i HEAD~6
